Oh My Darling, Clementine
Percy Montrose (1884)
Lyrics
In a cavern, In a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.

Chorus:
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry Clementine.

Repeat chorus:

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine;
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

Repeat chorus

Drove she ducklings to the water,
Every morning just at nine;
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Repeat chorus

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine;
But Alas! I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

Repeat chorus

When the miner forty-niner,
Soon began to peak and pine,
Thought he oughter "jine" his daughter,
Now he's with his clementine.

Repeat chorus:

In a corner of the churchyard,
Where the myrtle boughs entwine,
Grow the roses in their poses,
Fertilized by Clementine.

Repeat chorus

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now she's dead, I'll draw the line.

Repeat chorus

How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine.
So I kissed her little sister,
And forgot my Clementine.

Repeat chorus:

Now you Boy Scouts, there's a moral
To this little tale of mine.
Artificial respiration,
Would have saved my Clementine.

Repeat chorus:

The Yankee - Man Of War
Collected from George Edwards 

Lyrics
Down in yonder valley, where I carelessly did stray
I overheard a sailor unto his love did say,
Susie, lovely Susie, I soon must leave this shore,
To fight against Jefferson Davis on the Yankee Man-of War."

"Oh Johnny dear, oh Johnny, do not go away from me!
The rebels are as treacherous as any men can be,
With some deadly weapon you may receive a scar
Johnny, do not venture on the Yankee Man-of-War!"

"Susie, lovely Susie, the truth to you I'll tell
The Stars and Stripes are unfaded, us Yankees know it well,
I might be crowned with glory, just like a gallant tar
A-facing the foe, the rebel, on the Yankee Man-of-War."

"I've fought through many a battle where shots and shells did fly,
I've fought through many a battle where many a soldier lie,
I've fought through many a battle where cannon loud did roar,
I have fit against Jefferson Davis on the Yankee Man-of-War."

Pulling out a handkerchief, then tearing it in two
Saying," Here is one half of it, the same I'll give to you
The shots may fly around me, cannon loud may roar
I can fight against Jefferson Davis on the Yankee Man-of-War."

A few more words together, then he let go her hand;
The jolly crew's aboard the boat, so merrily left th land.
The sailor waved his handkerchief so far away from shore,
And Susie blessed her sailor on the Yankee Man-of-War."

From Folk Songs of the Catskills, Cazden, Haufrecht, Studer.
